Club Penguin Music #4 - Medieval Party

[@dannydeko331]

Club Penguin would not have been club penguin without the music, it just wouldn't

[@aneanderthalscout37]

yeah the music brings in so much emotion and meaning into it

[@legowar177]

And this is proven by New Club Penguin CPPS using non-CP tracks and makes it not feel like Club Penguin.

[@swampfire6600]

@@legowar177 that must by why I don't like the CPPS's

[@AlwaysRM_]

2:00 Late Club Penguin broke the party feeling. There was no Relax time anymore inbetween party's One of many reasons Club Penguin fell down.

[@thetacticalmile2296]

Agreed there was no anticipation to log on some days because there was never any down time

[@ChrisHendricks]

I agree with that.

[@alvarodoismil]

In 2016 they only cared for CPI and didnt care about the original

[@cocoelacanth]

@Álvaro 2000 CPI wasn’t a thing in 2016, though.

[@denizend]

Eventually, the parties became Disney movie promotions and they got boring FAST.

[@Tech70]

The Medieval Party music is surely one of the most emblematic soundtracks of Club Penguin history. Thanks for sharing!

[@maxrodriguez643]

Your music brings me back to my happiest days of playing club penguin right after school, and I got to say the way you compose these songs show your skill and I think all the songs you have made are the best.

[@Iocustkingofdecayingcorpse]

he gave such a beautiful childhood to me too, there was a time we had no working computers but our local shopping centre had computers you could use in a hallway for $2 , The excitement I had for the Christmas party, it just felt so magical

[@Cutiejea1]

6:46 - FOREST THEME AAAAA!!! THATS ONE OF MY FAVE MUSIC DURING THE MEDIEVAL PARTY!!!

[@bweany91]

lol same

[@vanilla_labelle]

Eri // Cutiejea YES!!! forest music was great!!

[@madison-fq9mh]

its actually kinda crazy how i remember all these songs and theyre ingrained in my brain. i feel like ill know them for life

[@WWMProductions]

I remember when I couldn't wait for the next party and feeling like it was an eternity until the next one came. Now I'm introducing club penguin to my little sister through private servers (unfortunately) and she's enjoying it, maybe as much as I did.

[@dragonick2947]

That's nice. I hope she enjoys the private servers.

[@pessoa__]

same with my brother

[@ryannyeholt6652]

I use to think in the future my kids would play club penguin haha. Maybe

[@Palkia8-Bit]

Though I was very patient so I waited for all of it.

[@Tech70]

"Did you just hear that?" "What?" "The sound of a coffee cup breaking?" "Oh, that was Lane."

[@rubsidudes]

I don't get it

[@ai6896]

@@rubsidudes it's a refrence to the video promotion where he drops a cup of coffee because his gloves are to bulky

[@TiStardust]

“April Fools” being upside down. The creativity and little details used to give Club Penguin charm ooze from your videos!

[@4pocop]

So, this is basically what I relate the middle ages with, when i started seeing the medieval times in school these songs popped to my head. Keep in mind I hadn't played CP in about six years. Your songs are extremely powerful and memorable.

[@ChrisHendricks]

That's hilarious!

[@richiecorona1531]

these videos make it worthwhile to continue to exist

[@emilywolf9578]

I grew up on Club Penguin, and now I'm going into music! Hearing these songs again now makes me realize how much influence you probably had on that - I remember listening to some of these on repeat or leaving my game open to hear the music while I worked on stuff like schoolwork.

[@ChrisHendricks]

I love doing that with video games! It's especially great when video game creators put in a "sound test mode" that allow you to listen to everything. I'm glad Club Penguin could do that for you!

[@misaabelle]

The Hydra part of the 2011 Medieval Party has to be the one I remember the most! I absolutely loved it since it was so challenging... It took me so long to beat it (I was 8 years old at the time) and I felt so satisfied once I did! Thank you for uploading your work behind the songs. It makes me so nostalgic since CP was my favorite game ever...

[@TheJiamy]

Oh good lord the nostalgia hit me so hard I teared up as soon as the main theme started. I was 10 years old for this party, and I loved it.

[@illuminati5]

The Medieval Party has always been my favotite party since it came out. I've always enjoyed it and found the music fun, the content exciting, and in general...a great party.

[@theepurpletoaster]

Man, that leitmotif is very catchy. It's been stuck in my head since I watched this video last week.

[@matchstickgameplay]

Shout-out to all the penguins who's igloo floors were covered in gold after those parties.

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

Mine still is...

[@Pejelo]

13 years now... And these songs never gets old.

[@frostflaggermus]

i've used the medieval forest theme sO MANY TIMES in my igloos it's so nice

[@Gabriel45206]

13:23 OMFG, I REALLY LOVE THAT ONE!

[@enzoys]

ME TOO!!

[@calebcustombricks2631]

Same!

[@madigreenaberg9266]

if it has an interesting enough story can you do the HQ music

[@finsterhund]

Someone who worked on Club Penguin talking about leitmotifs and showing how they can be transposed into a minor key and change the entire mood but keep the same melody is such a treat for me. Two of my passions in one place.

[@Edness]

Hearing the Medieval Party soundtrack once again sent sooooo many memories back to me from 2008/2009 I can't even begin to describe how I feel right now, lol.

[@FukiMakai]

13:23 I was searching for that one for years! My brother used to play Club Penguin in Spanish and this one was called Marcha Épica (Epic March) in the Igloo songlist. I included the song, without any info about songwriter (that's you!) in a misc medley in which the second part turns around a reggaeton song, plays Inspector Gadget theme and later plays with 4-chords themes and this theme was fragmented in two parts, the intro part and the finale.

[@isabellab8348]

I’m pretty sure I joined club penguin during this party(May have been 2009 though). I remember being kind of disappointed when it ended because I loved the medieval party so much, but then I had something to look forward to every year!

[@ElizabethTheJedi]

6:53 This song also played in the Lighthouse (Wizard Tower), so I'm sure both members and non-members alike remember it.

[@halopona6918]

The Medieval Forest Theme has to be one of my favourites of all time! Thank you for such an informative and entertaining video, this one was probably my favourite so far! :)

[@DJ.N]

Halopona your pfp is adorable

[@denizend]

The medieval party was definitely my second most favorite party (My first being the puffle party). I remember dressing as a knight and taking down the dragon every year and it was always a blast. Thank you for the memories!

[@PKMN_Alexis29]

[@summermaclin]

I loved monthly parties I genuinely counted down the days and looked forward to them after school

[@mallk238]

the medieval party was the very first party I ever saw, I joined right in the middle of it

[@lindsaykearney5089]

Mallk238 same!

[@TravCS]

Brilliant once again, can't wait to hear Halloween! The dance club music for Halloween (Haunted Disco) is among my favourite music from CP of all time.

[@zeldafan600]

I did not know I needed this in my life. Thank you so much for putting highlighting and discussing all these details I as a kid could have never understood. These videos help bring closure to that 'want more' feel I was left with as a kid.

[@farmervillager8651]

3:34 this song is one of the songs that introduced me to club penguin in the 2012 medieval party

[@katevp.6612]

Absolutely CP's finest party ! I always had admired the music to this event the most

[@animazingcraze8103]

I’m a music major and I played club penguin growing up and I appreciate this so much😭

[@bzlujapv]

Seeing how you transformed the regular theme to have a sinister twist is just amazing

[@hellish3706]

every time i come to this channel, i just get hit by a WAVE of nostalgia, and i love it so much

[@Gabriel45206]

Thank you VERY MUCH for that video. What a nostalgic moment in my life.

[@glamrockmaddy]

The club penguin font you frequently put in this video blessed my eyes

[@ChrisHendricks]

I too have a bit of nostalgia for that font.

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

What's the font called? I'd love to be able to use it?

[@miawalker3162]

I joined club penguin at medieval party and the music just brings so much nostalgia , i was tearing up all throughout the video omg those were simpler and happier times

[@clarizzi]

This is... incredibly powerful. I probably listened to this song for hours and I still can’t get enough of it. So many memories...

[@gustavo_colombini]

Club Penguin Medieval Party 2011 My first and favorite CP party

[@maahlong]

I'm SO HAPPY for finding this series. I always loved Club Penguin songs, I still 100% remember thousands of them, and truly love it all. I always liked music too, so it's really inspiring to learn more about all the process of composing. I could hear you talking about it all for hours and hours, it's amazing! Congrats Chris, I completely love your creations, and will treasure them for life.

[@PatoFrango]

it would be fantastic if you could make tutorials on how to play these themes

[@limemyth]

Yes! That would be awesome!

[@marcdimartino9118]

I second this!

[@kaylajohnson4867]

Tomás Correia yes!!

[@DragonitaPurple]

[@TheHdmiOccult]

[@AQSWDEFRTHYJUKILO]

Aw man dude this was so nostalgic. I would love to see you compose something for the Cprewritten team for the next party they have

[@AmekDzbanek]

As a small, polish kid obsessed with penguins, Club Penguin was the main reason for me to learn english. When I went to school, I was always the best kid in english classes and now I teach other children myself thanks to this. 2008 Medieval Party was probably the first big event I remember and the music for it was my favorite from the entire game. Thank you so much for playing such a big part in my childhood :] I've just found your channel and it's been such a blast from the past! You're truly an amazing composer.

[@ChrisHendricks]

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and that it helped you learn English (and pass that onto new kids!) Did you, by any chance, work on the Polish translation of the Club Penguin Times? Club Penguin was never officially translated to Polish, but there was a dedicated community that translated the newspaper to Polish for years. I loved that.

[@AmekDzbanek]

@@ChrisHendricks Thank you, I'm doing my best :D Yes, I did help with that at some point! We indeed had a huge, unofficial forum and it was an amazing place full of helpful people! I was still relatively young when it was in it's prime so they didn't let me "work full time" with the team, but I volunteered to translate a few bits here and there. We also had tutorials with translations of the EPF missions for younger audiences and some of the books from the coffee shop were translated too! I'm surprised you knew about the polish community but it fills me with joy that our efforts were aknowledged.

[@aydenjenkins8760]

Learning about the making of the music for Club Penguin makes me appreciate the music even more. Club Penguin was a big part of my childhood, and I had such a fun time playing it. Heck I still play it today on Club Penguin Rewritten from time to time.

[@eleanort3693]

I'm amazed how easily I can hum along with these tunes 10 years later. It doesn't even take any effort to remember, I just know it. Just shows how catchy the music was

[@otterwoods8881]

Hearing this music again hit me with some HARD feels

[@sorrel8596]

Ahhh this brings back so many memories!!! Medieval party was always my absolute favorite event (probably because I’m a huge nerd for anything medieval). I was pleasantly surprised to find myself humming along to the music even though I hadn’t heard it in years. jeeeez just listening to the forest theme is bringing back so much memories... thank you so much for posting this stuff, man. These are absolute gems and I’m so glad I got to grow up with this amazing games and all the great songs you composed!!

[@alyssarasmussen1723]

Medieval Party Town is probably one of my favorite Club Penguin songs. Thank you. Thank you so very much.

[@wofi784]

The way you introduced the Knights Quest 3 song gave me chills... The leitmotif feels even more amazing now!

[@ChrisHendricks]

Sometimes, the simple act of changing a key from major to minor can have such a dramatic effect on a melody you thought you knew.

[@internetgirl2001]

chris, since your earlier club penguin music videos had the comment box deactivated, i wanted to thank you for your work. It gives me so much nostalgia, and i really appreciate someone making something so well done and with so much heart, even if it is background music for a kid's game. You did an amazing job. Thank you so much for your effort!

[@ChrisHendricks]

Thank you!

[@venjaminvifareti3010]

Thank you for making our childhood much better

[@mrskitkats]

medieval party might've been my all-time favorite party, and the music definitely contributed to that

[@oliviafigas]

the Battle theme hits hard, almost felt as if I was at the snow forts

[@ryannyeholt6652]

Thanks for helping make my childhood what it was. I always looked forward to the medieval parties as a kid. Still, I can hear one tune from just about any song and I’ll hear the whole thing in my head lol.

[@onograce1327]

this is my favorite series to watch, it's so interesting learning what went into my favorite music from my favorite childhood game

[@Tealcats]

club penguin was such a huge part of my childhood and I remember loving the music, sometimes when I wouldn’t be playing I would jus listen to it on youtube. thank you for making this series !

This was always my favorite party with the BEST music. Thank you sir for your hard work, it never went unnoticed with me as a kid!

Hi Chris!!! The medival party has always been my favourite party in Club Penguin. Hearing the music brings me to those happy memories and help me a lot while struggling with depression. Thank you!!! (Sorry for my bad English, hope you see this)

[@kokosita]

Hi Chris: I miss CP, it was my childhood... It's awesome that you share all this with us. I have 2 questions, Did you make the music for Dj3k? and do you know who sings in the song Anchors Aweigh from the Penguin Band?

[@volosami]

i don't think he knows who sang anchors aweigh because it was made in 2012 and Chris left CP in 2010 or 2011

[@thepenguinbrother1538]

well , if you still want to play club penguin , maybe try out club penguin rewritten?

[@karlapinkie7697]

Mike Viola is the singer. Michelle Lewis (Cadence's voice actress) revealed it in a tweet

[@speedways7190]

the medieval forest theme makes me want this song to be available for download, and it makes me want to make a medieval game idea.

This was pretty awesome. I was listening and he said he saved the third original song for last. As soon as I heard it, I remembered that that is likely my favorite song in the game. That is one of the few songs I remembered from the early days. Thank you.

Well Hello, Screenhog. I'm unsure if you'll ever see this, but I think you should know that the medieval battle theme is my all time favourite piece of all Club Penguin music. I first heard it when I joined the game, being 9 at the time it just spoke to me in a very heroic way and I decided there 'this sounds like me'. Now approaching 20, finding out who exactly composed the piece that made my childhood is heartwarming. I thank you, Chris.

[@ChrisHendricks]

I began playing in 2010 up until a few months before the shutdown. The Medieval Party was one of my favorite annual events, alongside Halloween and Christmas. The 2011 and 2012 events had a much more Zelda/Monty Python feel, and the Hydra battle took a long time for my group to beat, but it was enjoyable.

[@SamGautreau7]

I fell asleep while watching a video and this video was next on autoplay and even though I was asleep, tears of nostalgia came out of my eyes when the medieval music played😍
